About this skill

What it does

The rust-cleanup skill automates the process of cleaning up Rust project dependencies. It removes unused crates, updates outdated dependencies, and generally optimizes a Rust project's Cargo.toml file. This helps reduce build times, minimize binary sizes, and improve overall project health.

When to use it

  • Large projects: Ideal for projects with many dependencies where manual cleanup is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Dependency bloat: Use when your Cargo.toml seems overly large or you suspect unused crates are present.
  • Build performance issues: If builds are slow, cleaning up dependencies can often contribute to faster compilation times.
  • Reducing binary size: Removing unnecessary dependencies directly reduces the final executable's footprint.

Key capabilities

  • Removes unused crates from Cargo.toml.
  • Updates outdated Rust dependencies.
  • Optimizes dependency versions.

Example prompts

  • "Clean up my Rust project and remove any unused dependencies."
  • "Update all the dependencies in my Cargo.toml to their latest compatible versions."
  • "Optimize my Rust project's dependencies for size."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a valid Cargo.toml file to be present in the working directory. It’s recommended to review the changes made by the tool before committing them, as aggressive cleanup could potentially break existing functionality if not carefully considered.
